Junk Mail Riot
When does presidential campaign material cross the line? When do presidential campaign First Amendment rights Trump a citizen's foundational rights to life and health? Do you have a right to silence, or are you required to receive and process hate speech if it masquerades as a presidential campaign?

About this site
Below is my story of getting caught up in the American “justice” system.
I am currently in pre-trial detention in Columbus County, North Carolina. Access to resources and communication is so restricted that my chances of a fair trial, as is commonly understood, are non-existent.
The articles below tell my side of the story, something I’m prevented from doing through the normal procedures of America’s broken justice system.
If you’ve ever watched a courtroom or legal drama on TV, prepare to be shocked at what the reality of being a defendant in our system actually entails.
